private unsafe static extern uint CreateThread(
uint* lpThreadAttributes,
uint dwStackSize,
StartThread lpStartAddress,
uint* lpParameter,
uint dwCreationFlags,
out uint lpThreadId);
Notes:
None.
Sample Code:
public delegate void StartThread();
unsafe uint StartThread(StartThread ThreadFunc, int StackSize)
{
uint a = 0;
uint* lpThrAtt = &a;
uint i = 0;
uint* lpParam = &i;
uint lpThreadID = 0;
uint dwHandle = CreateThread(null, (uint)StackSize, ThreadFunc, lpParam, 0, out lpThreadID);
if (dwHandle == 0) throw new Exception("Unable to create thread!");
return dwHandle;
}

Alternative Managed API:
Try System.Threading.Thread.Start. It doesn't give you all the control of directly calling CreateThread, (such as specifing the flags), but it will get you a vanilla thread to spin up.
